Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I know that this is a little bit weird question. But I am helping my friend with choosing a new name. Because in our country we can choose from a limited names. I want to know what name do you think is the best for a woman from international point of view. 

Thanks for your vote :-).

Edit: I will be honest,  it is not for my friend, I am trying to find the best name for myself :).
I like all of mentioned names but can't decide which one is the best one.

I like Andrea Nicol myself.  :)

Well for the first time today I din't agree with Jessica. I prefer Nicol myself.

I'll agree with Jessica, Andrea Nicol.

Andrea Nicol Kunc is possible but we usually don't use two given names here. I guess one given name is preferable. But I know that two names sound good :). 

Well I am pretty fond of Nicol myself :) however I think Andrea is a pretty name. It matches your face in my mind because I knew a girl named Andrea who looked a lot like you.

It isn't weird :). So what do I look like A or N :) ?   

Andrea :P.

Yeah, Andrea :)

I like Andrea a lot, and think it suits you well too (assuming that's you in your display picture~!). ^^'' I think Andrea Nicol is pretty too, but that's coming at it from the perspective of someone from a different cultural and linguistic background, and I don't know if you'd feel comfortable or not having two names if it isn't common in your country. Really up to you. ^^

I vote Andrea...

And just because I'm extremely curious... you seriously are given a pool of allowed names to choose from, legally?!

If you are changing gender in my country, you must start process with something called a neutral name. It is a name that can be used for both men and women. Women are not allowed to have a man name and vice versa. Thus neutral name is only choice in the beginning of transition. There are many neutral names, usually they sound a little foreign but it is possible to choose a nice one. I can change to a purely women name after divorce and SRS. I can't finish transition(receive new sex marker in ID and unlimited choice from women names)  when married. SRS is obligatory too.  But because I am married and we don't want to divorce, I can't finish gender change, that means I will still have M as sex marker in ID(legally stay male), can't have SRS legally(but of course I can have SRS in a different country) and must stay with neutral name  :(. It is a stupid system...

i know, right?  A pool of names to choose from?  Is that how it is with babies?

And I'd go with Andrea, but as in An-dray-ah, but that's just me...

Yeah,  a pool of masculine, feminine and neutral names. It applies for all people and babies. So for exampe I can't choose name Sarah because it is considered a female name and I am still legally a male.

Thank you for voting. Results are close and nikola is the less favourite. I like Andrea Nicol because I can't decide between Andrea and Nicol. Both names are nice. Two names are allowed in my country but only minority of people choose two names.
